Dubai has always had the hype. Maybe not as much anymore?

The skyline. The ambition. The zero tax reputation.

I get it. It's magnetic.

But I've been living in Thailand for 6 years and I keep coming back to the same question…

Are you chasing wealth or are you chasing freedom?

Because those two things will take you to very different places.

I chose beaches over skyscrapers.
$8 meals over rooftop bars.
Slow mornings over hustle culture.
And Bitcoin over all of it.

Where would you rather be?
